     Conclusion.......

     The PC industry has a very wide variety of clientele, and not every computer owner is willing to spend the kind of money it takes to keep up with the latest trends in hardware fashion. While onboard video solutions will fulfill the need for a basic video system, they are generally built to a meet specifications for reproducing multi-media content only. Budget cards such as the GigaByte GeForce 6200 chipset based  GV-N612128DE give system builders flexibility. The benchmarks vary greatly, depending on the game title we tested. Games like Unreal Tournament 2004 and Call of Duty are be very playable, even at a resolution of 1280x1024 with 32 bit color depth. While I didn't post benchmarks for Battlefield 2, at a resolution of 1024x768 with 32 bit color depth, and Medium graphics settings, the game felt very playable. All in all, I feel the GeForce 6200 is a great card for budget class PC systems.

The GigaByte GV-N62128DE is due to be released in the US for retail purchase soon.
